Attaching the "Chocolate" moniker might have been a bad idea. Ask any carrier what has been their highest failure rate device ever, most will tell you the Chocolate. I think our failure rate was somewhere close to 100%.. Cracked screens, charging ports, unresponsive touch pad, low/no sound... and most came back repaired only to break within weeks.

Bell has had the Pro for over a month now... But yeah, not a big deal until the Pre drops...

You forget the Blackberry 8830 and the Samsung ACE, as well as the Motorola A860 in some places with stock. As for demand, its more Bells answer to Rogers getting the samsung qwerty slider, but both seem like pieces of crap that the public will prolly fall all over for anyway.

This is what you get for buying LG. From their infamous LG charging port that comes unsoldered on everything from the chocolate and up (including the spyder) to the LG150 recall in Canada. LG are easily leading the pack for worst cell phone manufacturer.

Also good luck with those replacements. The LG150 snafu in Canada is a joke. They started out offering 3 phones, cut it to two, ran out of stock, and asked Bell and its other VPCs to offer the cheapest samsung phone instead. Right now there is shipping delays on ALL the replacements because LG hoped no one still owned their old shod fest of a phone.

I can tell you guys right now that Bell Canada is getting a Blue and a Pink one (not the amethyst colour currently available on other networks)

Yeah, they announced today that they are getting the centro early feb. It dosn't seem to make much sense to alot of people, but then again this is their first palm since the 700wx like 2.5yrs back, so maybe they are putting the toe in the water so to speak. Hopefully the pre will hit bell or rogers up here (saying both CDMA and GSM flavours were announced i believe). Either way, 50 bucks for a centro (and 399 full) isnt too bad of a price for bell for a smartphone compared to their other offerings.

Don't know if its the same in the US, but Bell Canadas version of the phone is the Reveal, and its pretty good, one feature that dosnt seem to get advertised is that it has a document viewer (at least bells version does) that can open PDF .doc and other word files, go here http://www.bell.ca/web/wireless/en/all_regions/pdfs/userguides/handsets/LGReveal_En.pdf and CTRL-F for document and you will see. Hopefully its on the Lotus also.

Means very little when their 3g coverage is completely minute compared to other carriers, and has been growing pretty slowly, having 3.5g first dosnt really mean much when it will take far too long to reach most of the canadian population.

As much as I love samsungs low end every-day phones, the Cleo is possible one of the worst phones Ive ever had the pleasure of handling. Its designed for women, so it looks like a compact. However, instead of trying to load in some decent features, this phone is about as low-spec as they come. If you have ever seen samsungs really cheap throwaway style phones, this phone is as bad as them, but for a far larger price. The screen is really low res, the camera is barely functional and the software looks like its from two gens ago.

As much as I hate LG for their shoddy pieces of junk, the LG Reveal is a far more featured phone, with the same "style". If your into a chick phone, go with it. Or, you know, get a "real" phone... not some gimmick.

Bell has had the Dual for like 6 months now, and gets the pro on the 15th of this month, same as Telus is supposed to.
